Can you please elaborate? To me, a function is something that
transforms some input to some output [1]. Which is exactly what Python
functions do, without fail.

[1] I was going to write "maps" instead of "transforms" but that seemed
odd to me (in the context of Python). So I think I sort of see where
you're going with this. But I'm still curious about the details.
